Color The Night With Colored Tiki Torch Fuel

Tiki torches are already so majestic just the way they are, but have a look at these tiki torches that have colored flames. We like the more natural colors – our favorites are A) the original flame (can’t beat that one) and B) the blue flame.

The colored flame is created through burning a metal or salts like calcium chloride (bleaching powder) to create blue flames or magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt) for white flames.

Don’t forget about citronella tiki torch fuel as an alternative. A cousin of the lemon grass, so it is an organic substance, citronella oil burns with less smoke and also acts as a natural insect repellent.
